This is a tiny globular springtail of the species Dicyrtoma grinbergsi (Collembola - Sminthuridae) described from Siberia, Russia. Springtails of this family have a globular shaped body with numerous setae. They have eyes, and their antennae are longer than their head.

The Sminthurid springtails usually overwinter as eggs. They are herbivores and feed of decaying plant matter, fungal spores, and single celled algae. They are found skating on surface film in the calm water along the edge of rivers and streams. The size of the Sminthurids at maturity is usually less than 3 mm.
